DLM

The Dynamic Learning Maps (DLM) is an assessment program designed to measure what students with significant cognitive disabilities know and can do. DLM provides the opportunity for students to show what they know instead of documenting only what they do not know.

DLM assessments are for students with an IEP indicating that general education assessments, even with accommodations, are not appropriate. These students require extensive, direct instruction, and substantial supports to achieve measurable gains.
